- One of my most recent purchases was a pair of navy blue tasselled loafers from London’s Gieves & Hawkes.
When I was a kid I had a pair of navy blue brogues which I thought were Jack- the-Biscuit, and still think fondly of them. Strangely enough, I spotted a chap in a pair of blue suede [...]
- For the past several weeks I have been testing some complementary samples that I received from Lab Series, a company that offers “high tech, high performance skincare for men.” Lab Series offers skincare products in three categories they have labeled as “Clean, Shave and Treat.”
From the “Clean” category of products I tested the Multi-Action Face [...]
- The other day I was flipping through the mail, and was shocked when I stumbled upon the new Brooks Brothers catalog for Fall. It wasn’t getting the catalog that shocked me (I get more clothing-related mail than any sane human being should), but rather what I found on the cover and inside. Everything looks so….modern.
The [...]
- The tail end of summer, depressing though it is, is here in the northern hemisphere. The flowery optimism of May, the sultry afternoons of June, the silent heat of July somehow, they all feel a lifetime ago in this bizarre period of autumnal descent. Neither warm nor cold, the climate confuses gentlemen; frowning on their [...]
- The responses to my post on the jean jacket brought up an interesting and contentious issue, namely, the flip.
It was prompted by the picture of the gentleman in the above picture (on the left). It seemed that while the jean jacket was readily accepted the fact he had flipped his collar and cuffs put him [...]
- An elderly acquaintance of mine once commented on my use of a belt with my suit trousers. “Do you need that thing there or is it for show?” I gave him a rather awkward, sideways look; “No” I said “I need it. It’s not just for show.” He leaned over, smiled insidiously, opened his jacket [...]
- In June of 2007, I was struck by the cupid’s arrow and “big day” was set for June 19, 2010. My future wife’s continuous planning of her wedding outfit and my busy work schedule caused me no time to think about my ensemble. As a result, with a little over than a month before the [...]
- I was interested to read Andrew Hodges recent post on Cary Grant and his appearance in the film ‘To Catch a Thief’.
Of all the iconic looks in that film, the one most frequently referred to is that of Grant in a crew neck blue and white striped Breton and sporting a foulard neckerchief.
If there is [...]
- Wearing a tie out of choice can provoke some interesting commentary. People tend to nod approvingly, make pleasant-but-commonplace remarks about smartness and pay the neckwear more attention than it deserves, but importantly they place so much consequence on its appearance in an environment in which it is entirely unnecessary, much as an open neck wing-collar [...]
